From Boycotts to Boardrooms

Tzeporah Berman: Clayoquot Hero

I had never been to a protest in my life. And, I ended up coordinating the blockades in 1993. It became the largest civil disobedience action in Canada’s history…It was a real tipping point in Canada for environmental issues. – Tzeporah Berman

THE FACTS

Tzeporah Berman was a teenage art student studying in Europe when she first became aware of environmental degradation – pollution eroding ancient ruins in Greece and huge forests decimated in Germany. Tzeporah returned to Canada to find deforestation also taking place in BC rainforests she had previously not known existed.
